GIANTS ON THE ROAD 1 WHO IS PIERRICK GUYON? “I am a farmer’s son. I have been working in transport since I was 12 years old. I was fascinated by heavy goods vehicles and trained to be a truck mechanic, which was my first job. New technical solutions for abnormal transport interest me more than the transport as such. Currently I am the Managing Director of the transport division of AltéAd.” 2 WHICH ARE THE PERSONS THAT INFLUENCED YOU IN YOUR LIFE? “My father-in-law, Bernard Augizeau. He was the one that introduced me to abnormal transport in 1974.” 3 IN WHAT YEAR DID YOU OBTAIN YOUR (HGV) DRIVING LICENCE? QUESTIONS “In 1983.
